Imagine a wing towing a commercial ship;now imagine this is real.

AirSeas, an Airbus spin-off, not only imagined this revolutionary innovation for the maritime transport industry, it actually harnessed the aeronautical expertise of Airbus to create together SeaWing, an innovating wing that can tow commercial ships.

At its heart: 20% improvement in fuel economy and much reduced pollution emissions.

SeaWing, the automated kite that tows ships…

SeaWing exploits a free source of energy that allows to reduce the power demand on the main engines.

SeaWing is a safe choice as its savings on energy cost and gas emissions always apply.

SeaWing pilots the kite position, altitude and speed in order to provide the best thrust to the ship in a given situation.

SeaWing can be re-installed on any vessel of a fleet. This allows flexibility to operating companies that are operating ships on a rental basis.

SeaWing, the solution

SAFE& RELIABLE

SAFE & RELIABLE

SeaWing generates a 20% reduction in fuel consumption per ship per year as well as reducing emissions of harmful polluting gases (CO2, NOx, SOx).Considering a cost reduction of 1 to 2 million dollars per year per ship and without the need to halt the ship’s operations, SeaWing offers a return on investment of less than one year for ship owners.

FULLAUTONOMY

FULL AUTONOMY

SeaWing is a revolutionary innovation. It deploys, operates and furls 100% automatically.SeaWing also analyzes a plethora of complex data in real time as well as adapts autonomously to prevailing conditions in order to optimize the ship’s performance whilst guaranteeing maximum safety.

EASY TORETROFIT

EASY TO RETROFIT

The simple and modular nature of SeaWing allows a streamlined installation during the timeframe of a regular stop at a port of call.SeaWing has been designed to facilitate a rapid installation on almost all commercial ships in operation today

SeaWing, business review

The Maritime transport industry is under mounting pressure; pressure to remain economically competitive and pressure to adhere to ever increasing environmental requirements.SeaWing is one example of how AirSeas is applying aerospace engineering to make the maritime transport industry a more efficient and cleaner option.
